3 games below. 500 but yet only 4.0 games back of last years 4 seed.

The East is nuts this year.

I'm still hopeful but I admit we're not as good as I thought we'd be.

I honestly hate Evan Fournier. I remember in the offseason being disgusted how we signed him.

And after Grimes insane start #1 today I dont think I can ever forgive Coach Thibs (who I freaking love) for starting EF again.

C: Obi Toppin.
PF: Julius Randle.
SF: R.J. Barrett.
2G: Quentin Grimes.
PG: Immanuel Quickley.

Let Derrick Rose run the 2nd unit.

But imo that starting lineup has potential to be? Fun!

Heading into the season I was A++ excited for 2021 due to two reasons. 1.) Playoffs as a 4 seed last year and 2.) Heading into year #2 under Coach Thibs system.

So far it looks like I was wrong.

We look more like a 60 loss team than a 60 win team.

I admit defeat and I apologize to everyone for being hopeful.

Right now I'll just be excited over a playoff birth moving forward.

Excited to get swept in the first round?

Why?

Fuck that

Why you gotta be such a pessimistic ninny?

Getting to the playoffs is a big goal for any non elite team

Sorry, not interested in getting exposed like last year.

This team has no real all star, our 100m dollar man is a big time dud.

RJ is a bust for a 3rd pick.

Time to reset bud.

You know what 2 teams didn't reset last year at the same point in the season? The Knicks and the Hawks cause you don't fold this easily, ever.

Knicks are playing poorly but there are plenty of games left.

What the hell was exposed last year? I mean, besides coach of the team and MIP who got some MVP consideration? I'm not super huge on RJ but if you gave up on him last year you missed a lot of good games and improvement.

You probably also gave up on the Knicks this time last year too? Did you close your eyes during the later half of the season?

The Knicks got exposed to a team that were a couple of wins away from going to the finals?

This team is significantly worse this year compared to last in defensive ratings. The defense is what masked the fact there's no true scorer or go to guy on the roster. I don't see that turning around at all.

Randle is the type of player who's only good for a stretch, and that was last year. Him blooming pretty late in his career backs that up. He's shooting the worst % since his rookie year. Complete trash.

I personally never had any interest in being a 1st round team.

This team is currently nowhere even near that pedestrian goal.

Blow it up.

No way. That's asking for him to completely breakdown physically and we need SOMEONE to lead our 2nd unit and close out games FRESH.

You did not do anything, so there is nothing to apologize for. We all expected way better than this from the starters. But hey, one right that everyone is born with is a right to be wrong. Think of it this way. Without making mistakes it's impossible to live. Now with the season quarter over we can reset our realistic goals. For me personally I would like our backcourt problem fixed before playoffs. That's the goal. Grimes looks like he might solve 50% of it. Great! Let's just get a PG now. He too, might be on our roster already.

How horrible is Zach Wilson? And Saleh is worse than Todd Bowles

We have picks that can be used if/when the right opportunity presents itself. Only thing I would ask for is for Thibs to give some of the younger players more time (eg during blowouts). I'd be content playing out this season, allowing FO to reflect on Randle-focused offense and acquiring another talent during the upcoming draft.

We have a good young group of players, the problem are these horrendous contracts we gave out last summer
